Preventive maintenance is the essential part of many maintenance plans. From the production point of view, the flexibility of the maintenance intervals enhances the manufacturing efficiency. On the contrary, the maintenance departments tend to know the timing of the long term maintenance plans as certain as possible. In a single-machine production environment, this paper proposes a simulation–o...

power transformers provide a vital link between the generation and distribution of produced energy. such static equipment is subjected to abuse during operation in generation and distribution stations and leads to catastrophic failures. this paper reviewed the techniques in the field of condition monitoring of power transformers in recent years. transformer monitoring and diagnosis are the effe...

Text-based plans are plans whose steps and goals are described in a textual format. In contrast to logicbased plans plans that are represented based on variations of a first-order logic format such plans are much easier for a domain expert to describe, and is getting much easier to find given the tremendous growth of the Internet. In this paper we assume that the user is interested in an intera...

Materialized views defined over distributed data sources are a well recognized technology in data integration, e-business and semantic web. Due to the constantly increasing size of the information sources and the rapid rates of change, there comes an increasing pressure to reduce the time taken for refreshing such integration views. State-of-the-art incremental view maintenance literature requi...

In this paper, the concept of cumulative count of conforming chart (CCC chart) is applied in inspection and maintenance planning for systems where minor inspection, major inspection, minor maintenance and major maintenance are available. Several inspection and maintenance plans are defined and studied quantitatively. Analytic expressions of relevant statistics and their expectations are derived...

Maintenance strategy plays a very important role in all kind of manufacturing industries. Each maintenance strategy has their characteristics, importance and drawbacks. Performance of a machine depends on the type of maintenance strategies employed on it. Machines used in industries need proper maintenance because failure of machine may cause the production loss. Maintenance strategy may vary f...

Current production systems that respond to market demands with high rates of change and customization use complex systems. These are machines a capacity for communication, sensing self-diagnosis, although they susceptible failures, breakdowns loss reliability. The amount data provide as productive system and, individually, machine can be treated improve customized maintenance plans. objective t...
